World Development System 101 32. Prince Lukav's Announcement Part I.

Prince Lukav sarcastically remarked, "Well well well, It looks like you finally took your revenge on that upstart from that humiliation 5 days back by creating these new soaps. However, from your looks, I can see that you have hatched up a new conspiracy or you wouldn't be looking this happy after that previous incident. Has Felix arrived today? ohh It looks like your Beloved Mary and Cousin Ben are here as well."
"Well, Ben I will be blunt to you, previously I tasted this really good wine at Baron John... No COUNT John's place, I don't think your father's wine would stand any chance against it if it weren't for his relationship with his Majesty, King Lionheart. I guess Count John really needed some allies however, I don't think he has any good allies apart from me or Duke Sapphire Rose only if it is correct that Rose is intending to ally himself with him. As for Master Vlad, even I can't guess anything about him as he is quite an eccentric person."

A lot of people's face changed after hearing these remarks from Lukav,
One of the nobles after watching Prince Lukav, "I guess there will be a big show today as well."

Hearing this, there was a dark gloomy face on Prince Hector as he roared loudly, "What nonsense are you spouting over here, did you intentionally brag about those wines just to provoke us so that the royal family breaks their promise and become a laughing stock in front of everyone. If you are here to speak nonsense then please leave, you would anyway create a big matter wherever you like."

Lukav showed a mysterious smile as he replied, "Whether it is true or not, people can try it at that famous restaurant Hope as it will only be served over there, As for those who abhor slaves, demi-humans or demons they should refrain from going there as you could likely meet the same fate that Lord Evan met previously. Well, it is good that they are only selling them in small quantities or it would be big trouble again. And yeah the food there was great as well. As for me being not welcome, weren't you the one who sent me this letter to show your prowess and connections among nobles. And as for me when it comes to always creating a big matter it is because I don't like the hypocritic nature of these high scale parties that only reeks of corruption from all the people here instead of truly enjoying an event."

Prince Hector mocked him after hearing him out, "Well, since you don't like being a hypocrite, weren't you also raised in the same corruption since you too are a prince. Aren't you too being a hypocrite?

Lukav laughed as he heard Hector, "hahaha, I never said I wasn't corrupted, I got corrupted and liberated the same day when I decided to create that incident at Red Lake City 7 years ago. I guess Hector you were still a kid during that time."

A lot of nobles started having goosebumps when they heard the taboo word of Red lake city's incident.

Lukav, "hahaha, look at all of you, the very mention of that incident scared you all like frightened rabbits and chickens. Don't worry I won't be doing anything of that sort over here unless Felix is present."

Alistair rebuked and spoke, "Aren't you ashamed of openly declaring to claim Felix's life. Prince, you should at least have some decorum even though you guys are fighting for the throne in the future."
Lukav shook his head as he mocked, "Well I ain't getting that throne unless that shitty king dies or I grab it from him or maybe killing all of my brothers and sisters would do it for me, why should I worry about all these needless hassles and engage in shitty polite talk. Do you think that old man ain't trying to kill me all these years? hmph, he is only afraid of the consequences if his plans fail."

Alistair sighed as he heard Lukav and remembered his nostalgic past, 'I guess this also one of the reasons why he is banned all around the kingdom by the court and his majesty. I wonder what changed Prince Lukav into a monster he is today, everyone keeps their mouth shut when it comes to that incident 7 years ago, from the rumors I know that he was quite a good fellow and it only 10 years ago that he started changing.'

Prince Hector raged as he heard the cussing from his elder brother, "Damn, again this bullshit tirade against father and the whole family, I am sure you would have done something to enrage him thoroughly in the past or else he wouldn't have banned you from most of the events. Even that bastard stepbrother of mine, Charlie gets an equal treatment unlike you hmph... I have heard enough of your bullshit. I guess, you too didn't like Charlie as he was present during that incident of Red lake city and was introduced for the first time among all the nobles. It's too bad he survived that incident."
Lukav said, "The only reason that old man is alive is that he has my mother who she is stupid enough to believe him without knowing anything.
Today or maybe even later in the future, everyone will face the consequences of their actions which includes me, hahaha, of course, I won't die as long as I have Felix and all the conspirators who collaborated against me die as well. As for you Hector, since you are my younger brother I will only give you one advice, Pursuing John will be your end. As for Charlie, I don't particularly hate him, it's just that he was present in the event where I needed a lot of people to die I guess he was collateral damage."

Hector mocked as he spoke, "I won't be in this position unlike you who has no real allies if I followed your advice. Keep your advice to yourself."

Lukav didn't mind Hector's words as he knew Hector didn't know a thing about the past.
He ignored Hector's mockery and this time said in a very imposing manner to everyone present in the Mansion, "Well, I guess, I can't stop you and since you have already made your decision, I hope you don't come to me in future if you regret your present actions. As for me, I actually don't regret killing bystanders or anyone stopping me from carrying out my objectives, remember this, if you try to stop me in good faith I will always treat people with one ideology when it comes to war and battles, it is either you are with me or you are against me. I will treat anyone as my enemy whether it is my blood kin, even the innocent bystanders if they are living in the cities of my enemies. Don't expect me to show mercy on them since you don't have any direct relations to my enemies. Your taxes fund the armies of my enemies and that in itself is a crime. And today I am here to announce to everyone here that a big war is coming and everyone should be prepared. For everyone wondering why there is a big war coming? Well, the very reason for that war is this Banquet where a lot of alliances are taking place. However, you won't be able to stop the war after starting it. I think a lot of people here understand that a small war is coming, however, I am only saying this for those who don't know that a big war is coming so be prepared and cautiously take your sides. Remember this, staying on Felix's side would mean becoming my enemy and I will make sure to kill every single member of your family if you side with Felix if I win this war. There won't be any mercy to my enemies."
